FALMOUTH, MA — Police are still looking for a Cape Cod man who walked away from his Barnstable home two months ago. Floyd Black Jr., 61, has Alzheimer's and was supposed to go to Falmouth, but his daughter believes he got on the wrong bus. Black has been missing since Aug. 8.

There have been numerous reported sightings of Black in Falmouth and nearby communities, but they were either a case of mistaken identity or could not be confirmed, according to police.

"The 61-year-old has a myriad of health problems that include Alzheimer’s disease, bipolar disorder, an old head injury and a heart condition," the Missing Persons Cases Network said in a statement. "While he often gets confused, this lengthy absence is unusual."
